In contrast, this book looks at the ways in which the fear of death operates on a back burner throughout our lives and how it influences the choices we make and the paths that we follow in life. The author presents a `moral hierarchy' of behavior used in coping with the fear of death and dying.PATH in psychology.Conduct of lifeFear of deathElectronic books.Conduct of life.Fear of death.616.85/225Langner Thomas S883995MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910454999903321Choices for living1974155UNINA
